Incident in China
Hundreds of drones crashed during fireworks show
A US artist with Chinese roots wanted to put on a big performance with a drone and fireworks show in the Chinese province of Fujian on Sunday. But during the colorful show, hundreds of drones suddenly crashed, hit the ground or fell into the water.
According to Chinese media, a jamming signal from the police in Quanzhou, where the spectacle was taking place, was probably responsible for the mass crash. According to reports, one of the backup drones was identified as an "enemy flying object". A so-called jammer was immediately called in. The drone had apparently not been correctly reported to the authorities in advance.
"Drone rain" spread on social media
The "drone rain" did not result in any injuries, but did cause a little panic. Some brave spectators took pictures of the incident with their cell phone cameras (see video above). These spread like wildfire on social media.
Some of the unmanned flying objects that were brought to the ground were also taken as souvenirs. The artist asked the "collectors" to return all the devices and help with the search.
